A record of favorite screams
Edited on Tue Aug-18-09 05:03 PM by steven johnson
New York City artist LeRoy Stevens has compiled hid favorite screams on a record.

"Favorite Recorded Scream" is a compilation of 74 brief howls, whoops, cries and other guttural exclamations from songs by the Who, the Pixies, Slayer, Bjork and dozens of others.

New York City artist LeRoy Stevens came up with the idea while listening to "A Change Is Going to Come" by the 1960s soul singer Baby Huey. The song climaxes in a series of screeches.

He later asked Manhattan record shop clerks to choose their favorite song scream and to tell him why.

With their suggestions, he pressed 500 copies of a 12-inch vinyl record.

1. Of course Tom Araya has to be on there.
The "Angel of Death" scream is iconic.

2. Never, EVER play the album! It attracts zombies and lookey-looz.

3. John Lennon was quite the screamer. I hope he wasn't overlooked.
